Untitled Heist Film
"That Awkward Moment" director Tom Gormican and co-stars Miles Teller and Michael B. Jordan have signed on to re-team for an "Ocean's Eleven"-style heist film set in Macau for Warner Bros. Pictures.

Both actors are rumored to be a part of Josh Trank's "Fantastic Four" reboot so if that casting goes through, this film wouldn't happen until after that shoot. [Source: The Wrap]
